Shunji was extremely delicious and such an enjoyable
Shunji was extremely delicious and such an enjoyable experience. Came here on reservation and upon entering we were seated along with another party. Since it's on a reservation based system, there's very limited seatings each day. Total of

Sushi is top notch, but at this price point, I would go to Sushi Zo. Other dishes are solid, but not as strong. I would do a cheaper lunch special here if it's still offered over the expense of an omakase dinner. Still, it's very high qu
One of the most refined sushi experiences on the Westside.
Shunji delivers high-end omakase with a quiet confidence--no flash, just top-tier ingredients and technique. Every piece is delicately balanced and thoughtfully plated. You can tell the chef puts real care into every course. The atmosphere is intima

From 2012-2020 the Michelin starred Shunji could be found off Pico blvd in an old 1930s building but in 2022 relocated to its current location off Ocean Park Blvd. It's a small nondescript restaurant from the outside but inside is modern, simpli

Everything was superb, everything is top notch, this type of food/service/experience comes at a price but if you can pay it, it's amazing.
The food here was mediocre and so expensive.
I dropped almost $600 here (including tax and tip) for omakase + sake tasting. The quality of this omakase isn't even worth half that, maybe $200 max (including tip and tax) for food only. The sake pairing was good but also too expensive for wha

I live in Seattle but whenever I'm about to go visit LA I always check to see if there's a reservation open at Shunji! To me this might be my happiest place on earth. Not just a huge fan of the food and the sake but both Chef Shunji and Y

I visited for the first time since the shop moved to its new location. There is no signboard for the shop. About five minutes before the reservation time, we were allowed to enter the shop. The interior felt like a very traditional Japanese sushi res

Going to an omakase experience can be a little intimidating, especially if there are six seats but my husband and I are the only ones that evening. Usually the omakase chef is serious, the space is quiet and you eat the food exactly how the chef pres

Shunji might be the only restaurant I know of where the cost of your meal depends on which chef is slicing the fish. If you're looking for an incredible special occasion meal, the sushi counter is divided into two rooms with a handful of seats
Sushi by chef Miki was phenomenal.
Everything was so tasty and delicious. My only complaint here was around the service. While Miki was very friendly, I expected more in terms of the waitstaff for the amount we're paying. I had to ask the waitress to refill my tea multiple times (sh

Delicious, creative fresh and most of all FUN night at Shunji Chef Shunji and his wife want people to relax, talk and have a good time! They are amazing genuinely loving people. It can be intimidating to dine at these experiences but Chef has a lov

One Michelin star Shunji (1) Shunji has two rooms, chef shunji room and chef miki room. Of course I have to try shunji room first! I felt that the chef was having a good time all night, and he chatted with us from time to time, which was still very h

The appetizers are all light, seasonal vegetable salad, sashimi with dashi jelly are very delicious, and the sesame seeds are very good and fragrant. Then came the pickled Atlantic Bonito, which was served with something that looked like garlic moss

Overall this omakase was a good experience, but being in LA, there is definitely a ton of competition. Super fresh fish with a modern and intimate ambiance as expected. Some highlights from the meal: + Chef Miki was super sweet and our waitress was

I ate at Shunji several years ago when they still had a Michelin star, but I believe the food is likely still worth trying for a special occasion. I recall them giving generous portions and many different courses both hot and cold. The cuts of fish w

Host was very unpleasant when one in my party was unable to attend due to a trip to the ER earlier in the day for the reservation. Most of the sushi was average at best and two pieces of sushi actually tasted bad. No way this should be a Michelin sta

awful, not great tasting and the chew-toro was more grisly than an all you can eat sushi buffet. I had to walk to the restroom to spit out the gristle..... Avoid it at all-to-much -cost. better places to go!

Omakase experience
Had an amazing some 3 hour Omakase culinary experience. So satisfying. Sashimi melted like butter in my mouth. Everything was pretty perfect for me. So lucky to be able to finally dine here.

Kaiseki style with sushi that i was actually full with! I highly recommend this place and we had great conversations with the other guest and sushi chef.The theme was mushrooms so we had a lot of mushrooms in most of the dishes! I exceptionally liked
Exquisite dining experience.
Appreciated the variety in the course, and the attention to detail and precision of flavors were remarkable. Shima aji and kanpachi were my favorites. Shunji San's sake is also a must try.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Shunji Japanese Cuisine Santa Monica at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Shunji Japanese Cuisine Santa Monica page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Shunji Japanese Cuisine Santa Monica to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Shunji Japanese Cuisine Santa Monica!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
